newbee question on adding components w/ sw api
hello - i am new to developing in sw api but have worked w/ acad and others. i am trying to provide a dialog via an sw add-in w/ a listing of sw components that the user can pick to insert into the assembly. i can do the insert using the very rough code below, but end up w/ the component at a fixed location that i set in addcomponet4 - ideally i would want my dialog to hide or disappear after the user selects the component and then show sw w/ the component anchored to the mouse, allowing the user to select the location. is there a way to do this? i have tried selecting the component after it has been inserted, and that is not working. any help would be great - thanks in advance! scott
